Pens Fall To Habs But Geno and Bylsma Are Here To Cheer You Up

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Pens fall to Montreal CanadiEns 5-3.

Pascal Dupuis (13) and Bill Guerin  (17) both had a goal. Evgeni Malkin (20) with a beautiful goal coming out of penalty box on a break away. Seems like Fluery never fully recovered after the first goal which should have been an interference call. He was pulled after 4th goal against him and Brent Johnson took his place. Crosby reached 300 assists in his NHL career.

Now here is something to cheer you up. Thanks to Evgeni Malkin Girlfriend forums for this one. I found the following images and a funny story behind them showing typical Geno’s funny side. The article is from sovsport.ru and is in Russain but i will translate the funny part. Hope it makes you smile!

Story Behind Pictures – “Geno write, ‘I Love My Coach’ ”

At the end of the interview i asked Malkin to participate in a photo session. At first I wanted to take  a picture of Malkin with Mario Lemieux – who is heart and soul of Pittsburgh Penguins. Even Mellon Arena is located on the street named after Mario.

Super Mario is owner of Pittsburgh Penguins and every so often after games he comes into the locker room. However, its strictly prohibited for media personnel to bother Mario. If Mario gives interview to one reporter than all of them come rushing in after. As a result Mario would forget his role of being quiet and retired millionaire and would turn into a “talking head”.

“Unfortunately, you can’t even take pictures with Mario. We are not going to bother him.” we were told.

To my reporters luck into the locker room walked in Sidney Crosby. He already put on his suit, fixed his blue tie, and styled his hair with gel. He gladly agreed to take a picture with his friend Geno.


“Is it ok if Geno is half a head taller than i am?” – jokingly asked Sidney.

… After that i asked Geno to write “To Vancouver!” on the board with a marker since in a week Olympics are starting.

Geno agreed. While he was busy enthusiastically writing the message, head coach Dan Bylsma walked by. He noticed that someone dared to write something on the board where he usually draws his game plans. “I love coach!” – exclaimed Dan in hopes that is what Geno is writing.

Geno translated, “Dan said that i am GREAT and an awesome Russian guy!”


Geno added a message for fans, “Cheer for us! Lets hope you have a great spirit that we can feed on. In return we will make you happy!”

Caps tomorrow!

LETS GO PENS!!!

Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers – 01-25-2009 – Blog In Pictures

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Ohh Say Can You See …

MSG seemed somewhat depressed and down last night. Its like they knew they had no chance against the Penguins. The whole night i was trying to recall how the “Lets Go Rangers” chant goes but no one would help. They wouldn’t even talk sh*t unless they were confronted first. SAD Sad sad times for New York.

Clever Old Man! Now Sit Down … Shut Up … And Watch Your Team Lose.

Our seats surrounded by Rangers fans … lucky jolly fat guy sitting right next to us was undercover Detroit fan with his Ranger buddy, but he swore to cheer for any team playing Rangers … guess he was on our side. Luckily right in front of us was a sign from Dad. We knew we were going to win now!

Another old man to my right … “Since when does Staal play on the same line as Sid?”

Do you see Bill Guerin on the line up or did you miss the Penguins scratches for tonights game, old man? Don’t you have something better to do like go pick out a coffin for yourself?

2 min 47 seconds into the game …  Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins’ Chris Conner wearing number 23 took away Rangers will to live. On our feet … “LETS GO PENS!!!” chants … all Ranger fans turn around and stare like there is a naked woman on a pole. Yes I like my team … Yes I cheer when they score … Yes you can suck my … moving on … 1-0

About 3 min later Eric Godard … down … takes him about 5 min to get back to the bench with apparent knee injury. After that …. Yawn … till Dubinsky goes to the box. Penalty killed Pens generate very little on the PP.

First intermission … Pittsburgh Penguins NYC Meetup Group gathers around and blocks halls of MSG. Thats right gotta pay a toll to pass us … THIS IS NY … WE TOLL EVERYTHING! Back to our seats … on the way not a single comment from Rangers fans … sad. I almost wanted to start something but i was with a lady.

During warm-ups … MouthFullOfTang and usbzoso … notice 23 bottom left

Second period … God is not on our side anymore … and has not returned to the bench. Damn it!

I told my jew friend and his AK27 buddy to start praying! However, it does not help!

Who Said Jews Don’t Like Hockey!?

Some minutes later … MAF … shows NY what Statue Of Libery really looks like …

Some more minutes later … Geno to the box …

Rangers can’t generate anything … Geno comes out of the box … Sid feeds him the puck … Geno can’t bury it!

13:04 into second …

2nd almost over … and Tanger almost drops the gloves next to boards … everyone on their feet, cant see whats going on … Jumbotron?

MouthFullOfTang spots a camera guy wearing Rastafari hat … i snap a pic … holy crapsicles … Ray Shero right next to him!

2nd intermission … perfect chance for a beer run … i grab two in authentic Rangers cups … its spewing foam … i am forced to lick it off … wondering how come the Bud Light taste sooo good? Later on after finishing my beer i realize … it wasn’t the beer it was the cup … apparently Rangers beer cups are made in Warren, PA!

According to EmptyNetters … during 2nd intermission … Versus announcer Darren Elliot decides to do an impromtu Elton John impression

I am thinking Thank God he didn’t try Billy Joel impression because he’d have to get boozed up, get into a car, and hit something.

3rd period … Rags fans crying about refs handing out everything to Pens …. ummm how about playing short handed for at least 6 min … SHUT YOUR TRAP!

Penalties are up … Rags still haven’t scored shit … i yell out on top of my lungs … “KILLED IT!!!”

About 4 min later … I told the Jewish guy to pray harder damn it … Russian guy scored his second of the game … i knew this kid had potential when i saw him during pre-season.

Dude in front of me … gets trashed and starts waving like a retard … I am asking him why are you waving? Without going into too much details … he admits he is just retarded … too bad his friend seemed kind of nice.

Few min go by Gaborik goes to the box … I say … if Crosby scores a goal right now i am starting Crosby Sucks chant! Too bad he doesn’t score … Too good MALKIN SCORES!! GENO!!!!!! 2-2. I start doing my Russian dance and chanting LETS GO PENS with Bill Guerin fist pump technique. Some trashed old man behind me tells me to put my hand down. No fockey way! He starts crying so bad i can’t take it … i show him my Sidney Crysby impersonation … i see his eye get filled up with red as he reaches for his beer cup but his daughter restrains him. Aww … i saw more action at my Lafayette High School during lunch breaks. FOOD FIGHT!!!! Sorry dude you failed to amuse me and your daughter wasn’t even hot … its a fail/fail situation.

Less than a min later … Conner again 2-3!!!! I look for the old man … but he knows better … no eye contact. You can see Rangers fans get up and start leaving. Way to have faith in your team!

Dupuis face is looking better then ever … i was hoping they’d help him trim some of his eye brows … didn’t happen.

Empty net … i look for Chris Conner on ice … he is no where to be found … what the hell Dan? Duper finds the puck …

Still about 30 seconds left in the game … but MSG is already empty. Only Pens fans are sticking around.

Time to celebrate …

Somehow some Pens fans find us and its the same guys we took a pic last time we were at MSG for The Pensblog. So we snap another pic. TPB Link

Pic from last game at MSG … undefeated champs!!! TPB Link

After the game … we headed to Foley’s pub to celebrate with other Pens fans. Apparently refs from the game were partying there as well.

Some shots celebrating at Foleys Pub after the game … and i finally got my long awaited beer from Heather … she was not too excited over it!

I was a little constipated … so was Ian … and that lonely Rags fan on the background

Malkin Militia Belt!

All pics from the game … Enjoy!

Video Highlights …

Pens And Dads Head To NYC – Penguin Power Play Drinking Game

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Sid vs Max vs Dryer … Part II

Head coach Dan Bylsma recorded his 50th career coaching win yesterday against the Philadelphia Flyers as the two teams battled at the Wachovia Center. Pens players dads watched as this physical game unfolded. Bodies flying everywhere … line brawl … Letang Sex Hair fight … frustraded Geno … obnoxious Carcillo and Hartnell … in other words a typical Pens vs Flyers game. To a big disappointment of some Pens Fans that were playing the new “Penguin Power Play Drinking Game” pens were able to score 2 power play goals, Gonchar (8) and Cooke (11) which was enough to win 2-1 thanks to our amazing penalty kill unit giving Flyers only 1-for-9 on PP. Thanks Tony Granato and Mike Yeo!

If you haven’t heard of the new “Penguin Power Play Drinking Game” well then here are the rules … and i have to remind you … please drink responsibly!

  1. For every failed, forced back door pass to Alex Goligoski from Crosby or Malkin, take a drink!
  2. For every fanned shot in front of the net by Bill Guerin, take a drink!
  3. For every failed entry into the other team’s zone, take a drink!
  4. For every 30 second span of time without a shot attempt… finish your beer!

Pascal Dupuis was back after missing game against Washington Capitals and had 37 stitches above his right eye.

Line brawl anyone?

Speaking of brawls you might remember the KHL bench clearing brawl in which Jaromir Jagr was involved between two Russian teams Vityaz Chekhov and Avangard Omsk. Well some more exciting news coming from Russia … apparently all the Russian 9-year-olds are Goons! Here is a video …

Funny stuff. While we are on the theme of fighting … Letang Sex Hair Fight anyone!? Who knew Tanger could wrestle?! Poor Darroll Powe!

Later on that game Darroll Powe almost got a Russian taste of Geno who had 1 assist this game! Trust me Powe you don’t want to try any.

Speaking of fighters … did anyone see Eric Godard on ice?! He was pretty invisible for me. His TOI was 2:44 and no fights! Some speculations are going around that he might be playing his last games as a Penguin in the coming weeks. Main reason? Teams like Devils proving their success in the league without enforcer. Washington let go Brashear and are sitting on the top of the East. There are talks of adding another winger (Ray Whitney) before the trade deadline but no space on the roster.

Speaking of trade deadlines … Pens have had talks with Carolina regarding defenseman Andrew Alberts. He is 28, 6-4, 220lbs, has 6 points on the season and is an impressive minus-1 on a Hurricanes team that has given up 167 goals. Alberts would definitively add to some needed toughness on ice for Pens.

Doesn’t NHL shop disappoint you at times!? Where the hell is team Belarus gear?!? HELLO?!?! ANYBODY THERE?! http://shop.nhl.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3998724

Sick Penguins Tattoo anyone? This belongs to a Pens Warrior Jonathan W.

So Pens are headed to NYC to play Rangers and I am going to MSG with MouthFullOfTang to watch the game and hopefully meet some Pens dads. Rangers just got all beat up by Flyers. One fight worth mentioning … Carcillo vs Gaborik. Reaction of head coach of Rangers, John Tortorella, was … “There’s no honor in that.” Tortorella is pretty outspoken and was upset at Larry Brooks writer for New York Post who apparently made some sarcastic remarks in his article towards Wade Redden. Ready for funny video? You could fast forward to 2:07.

Brooks: Should one of your guys have taken a third man out?
Tortorella: I’m not going to answer any questions from you.
Brooks: You’re not?
Tortorella: No.
Brooks: Oh, good. I’ll speculate.
Tortorella: You’ll speculate? Be as sarcastic as you can be, as you usually are.
Brooks: I will, I will.
Tortorella: Go right ahead.
Brooks: So should one of your guys have taken a third man out?
Tortorella: I said I’m not answering any of your questions. Have you ever fought before?
Brooks: Yes. Why, are you challenging me now?
Tortorella: No, no, I’m not challenging you. You know, [Wade] Redden sticks up for his teammates the other night and you come out with some sarcastic article.
Brooks: It was funny.
Tortorella: It was funny? You were probably beat up on the bus stop most of the time.
Brooks: You’re a great representative of the city.
Tortorella: Just go stand somewhere else.

ROFL!!! LETS GO PENS!!!

Evgeni Malkin’s Hibernation Is Over With The 5th Career Hat Trick

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Geno Stretching Before The Game … Thanks Lisa R. 

Well if you thought that Geno was back last game against the Canucks where he scored a goal off his skate then you probably haven’t seen Geno play much. We all know he has way more potential to score BIG! Tonight he did just that coming out of his winter hibernation with a 5th career hat trick. 

Few minutes before the game started … twitter madness began … and i had an interesting run in with Kristiana B. 

It must run in the family! She even had her dog cheering for Geno to get a hat trick. I am not going to mention that i promised to make love to Kristiana if Geno got a hat trick. Putting that on this blog would be completely classless.

 

Here is video of Malkinator in action … 

 

Other highlights of the game worth mentioning … Sidney Crosby with a MONSTER 6 points this game, 2 goals and 4 assists! Wow! BillyG aka Porn Stache also gets a goal and an assist. 4 Power Play Goals this game … Mike Yeo doesn’t mind not having that much hair anymore as long as Pens keep this up. 

 

This is how its done ladies and gentleman … if this was my fantasy roster i’d be rockin’ tonight! 

Kristiana B

 

Not everything went as smooth as we hoped, Andy Sutton drilled Pascal Dupuis into the boards behind the Islanders net. Dupuis laid there prone on the ice bleeding. Luckily, Dupuis was able to stand up and get off the ice. The crowd give him a well-deserved ovation. Sutton gets a major penalty for boarding and is tossed from the contest. I hope Dupuis is ok.

 

Massive Johnson was taking care of business while MAF is out with fractured finger. 

Lets check up on how our friend Rob Rossi is doing right now …

Evgeni Malkin Is Having A Seizure In The Penalty Box

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Last night was wild … i am sorry for all those folks who went to sleep early! There were girls stripping for goals … wild gangbang orgies … crack cocaine … castration ceremonies … and of course Pens winning in the 3rd period! If ya’ll missed that well then try not to beat yourself up too much.

Apparently after the second period boys in the locker room were lifted by inspirational speech of BillyG.  ”In the room at the second intermission, some guys talked,” forward Pascal Dupuis said. “We stayed positive and there was stuff that needed to be said. We said it in a positive way. We have a guy like Billy Guerin getting up in the room and saying the right things. Guys were following.”

Unfortunately, Evgeni Malkin was not I’M SCOR3 again last night. This marks his longest streak of 11 games without a goal. Its ok Geno we have your back! You know he was really trying to bury one with 7 shots on goal last night. Others behind Geno have at most 3 shots on goal: Crosby, Fedotenko, Guerin, and Letang.

Jordan Staal for the first time in his career had 3 assists in one game. He assisted on all three goals that were scored in the 3rd period by Tyler Kennedy (9), Matt Cooke (9) and Pascal Dupuis (11).

MAF had a big game as well after letting in 2 goals he was solid for the rest of the game. Made some huge saves including a poke check on a Dustin Penner breakaway and fueled Pens comeback.

Some inside scoop has told me that Geno is scoring mad goals on Saturday against Canucks! Can’t wait! LETS GO GENO!

Here is something to keep you hanging till next game … Geno having seizures in the penalty box … that means he is ready to score!!!!

LETS GO PENS!!!
